Eyedrum Art & Music Gallery — Host Venue Outreach

Purpose: First-touch hosting pitch for Eyedrum Art & Music Gallery (target H7 in registry/leads/targets.md). The ask: host a Sun & Moonlight game night as a community fundraiser. McCray's is the template — lead with the concrete event, not a generic intro.

The event offer in brief:

H7 — Eyedrum Art & Music Gallery

Contact: 515 Ralph David Abernathy Blvd, Atlanta, GA 30312 · eyedrum.org · IG @eyedrum · FB "Eyedrum Art & Music Gallery" · YouTube @eyedrumartmusicgallery · Twitch @eyedrum_. Inquiries route through the "Contact eyedrum" form on the homepage (Squarespace — no published email).

⚠️ VERIFIED 2026-09-13 — targets.md corrections:

Channel recommendation: Instagram DM @eyedrum first (active, and there's no published email); if no reply in a week, use the "Contact eyedrum" form on the homepage.

Why this one: Eyedrum is a nonprofit arts space, not a venue-for-hire — so this is a mission/partnership pitch, not a booking. Two real anchors make the ask land as already-theirs: (1) their Monday Night Creative Music series' one-year anniversary (Sept 14, 2026) — the calendar entry says the musicians are donating the night's proceeds to support the space, which is the Sun & Moonlight model already in practice; and (2) their Sept 4 "PLAY | together" program — "chamber music built on board games, audience interaction, and spontaneity" — literally a game-based, audience-led night. A candlelit game-night fundraiser is the same instinct. The fine-art fundraiser is the natural secondary angle for an arts space.

Option A: Instagram DM (~80 words)

Hey Eyedrum — I run a community game night called Sun & Moonlight. Candlelit, 20–40 people, $20–30 entry, proceeds go to whatever cause the host names. I bring the games, the candles, and someone to shoot reels.

Your room keeps coming to mind. You all hosted a chamber-music night built on board games and audience spontaneity, and your own musicians donate a night's take to keep the space open. This is that same spirit.

Option B: Email / contact-form message (~115 words)

Subject: A game-night fundraiser at Eyedrum — worth a conversation?

Hey —

>

I run a community game night called Sun & Moonlight. Candlelit, 20–40 people, $20–30 entry, proceeds go to whatever cause the host names. I bring the game system, the candles, and someone to shoot reels.

I've been looking for the right intown room for it, and Eyedrum keeps coming back to me. You all already know this shape — "PLAY | together" built a chamber piece on board games and audience improvisation, and your Monday-night musicians donate the night's take to keep the room open. A game night is that same instinct.

>

There's also a fine-art fundraiser idea if that fits your room better. Would someone on the team be open to a quick call?

~115 words. No published email or named contact, so route through IG @eyedrum or the "Contact eyedrum" form. The board-games and musicians-donate references are the anchors — they're Eyedrum's own calendar, not our framing.

Before sending

1. Find a name if possible. The site publishes no ED or programming contact. If Brandyn can pull one (executive director / programming director) from LinkedIn or a network touch, address them by name.

2. Confirm the channel. IG @eyedrum is verified current. The "Contact eyedrum" form is the fallback. Don't guess an email.

3. Time-box the anchors. "PLAY | together" (board games) was Sept 4, and the Monday-night musicians-donate detail is from the Sept 14 anniversary. If sent later, swap to a current calendar item — the weekly High Contrast Drawing Group ($5 door or potluck, "Good vibes only") is evergreen.

4. Keep it distinct from Wild Heaven (D1) and Monday Night (H4). Those are taprooms pitched on booking; this is a nonprofit pitched on mission. Same game-night offer, different register: partnership, not a room rental.

5. Word counts: IG DM ~80, email ~115. Both under the template caps.
